ITT post obscure screenshots of retro games and try to guess everyone else’s game
>>10923995How the fuck am I supposed to guess that, what the hell?
>>10924052The point is you have to guess the obscure reference to the obscure game.
>>10923925I feel like I've seen this one but I'm not sure. Is it from a gba game?
>>10923995>>10924075That’s too obscure, give a guy a break>>10924243No, Master System
>>10923995postal 2
hey as for the guy who guessed wario land 3 in the last thread like this, you were right i just couldn't answer in time because i was banned. hated that boss too, tedious as fuck to get back to him
>>10924252It's a ground texture and a fraction of an explosion effect.
>>10923925is this gameboy color?
>>10924550What did you get banned for?>>10924586Sega Master System
From last thread. I didn't think it was that obscure, but I suppose it is.
>>10925002I think I've seen this in a computer adventure game but I couldn't recall what
?

>>10925208Microsoft Golf!! Man, I don't know why I played that game so much, but I did. I had no idea what I was doing.
>>10925286das rite
Hints from the last thread:>It's from Atari>It's not on the 2600, though it was featured as a game mode in a game>It's not Pong
>>10925184I feel like I should know this one!
>>10925184>>10925381it's from a SNES game
>>10923995It looks like some filtered fps, I'm gonna guess it's either Half-life or Goldeneye.
>>10925416exclusive snes game or was it a multiplat?
>>10925432exclusive
>>10925002reminds me of dark seed or waxworks or something.
>>10925440Too easy, C&C Red Alert
>>10925765yah
>>10925423No, third person and on the PS2.
>>10924865oh this is double dungeons. I was sure it was but I thought the dungeons were entirely grey so I didnt say anything but yah floors are brown so I know for a fact its double dungeons haha.
>>10925339>sprites are just photoswhy did we ever move away from this absolute soul?
>>10925192that guy looks like he's ready to attack aggressively
>>10926126Gradius>>10926130Rampage
>>10926135correct and correct (specifically SNES Gradius III but it doesn't matter)
>>10926153Serious Sam Advance.
>>10926161yes
>>10925184That's the sting spell from Secret of Evermore.
>>10926185it is!https://secretofevermore.fandom.com/wiki/Sting

>>10925192contra 3
>>10926854Did you not see the OP
>>10926116>>10926859i do believe so
Nobody got this one last threadOnly hint>not the elevator from super metroid but it's on the same system
>>10923925peasants still havent gotten it? its phantasy star for sms, its a shield of a skeleton
>>10926957Damn. I knew I had seen this somewhere but couldn't remember where.Here's mine from the previous thread.
>>10927135MS Flight Simulator, though I don't know which one. I'd say 3 or 4.
>>10927747Nice
>>10926703For some reason that reminds me of like Duke Nukem 2 or something.
>>10928304yah it looks like dos like commander keen or dangerous dave
>>10928304hint: it's from a DOS platformer, it's a sign on the wall, game was somewhat popular at the time, early 90s
>>10925202hint: from one of the short cutscenes between stages, towards the end of the game
>>10928560Which version of the game, exactly?
>>10926698Correct, this is the game over screen. Well done. also it's "Stoker's">>10925009>>10925617Good guesses.
>>10928570>>10928568
>>10928568Genesis. Good soundtrack, difficult and occasionally unfair gameplay. It's decent.
>>10928576Ah. The reason I was asking is because I played the SNES version when I was kid and I don't think I've seen that graphic before.Though to be fair, I very likely just forgot about it. It's been a VERY long time since I last played it.
from box art. What could it be?
>>10928761Sim City 2000
>>10928813conglaturations
>>10928628You correctly guessed the game from a graphic you don't recall? Do you have ESP?
Hint: It's NOT from a Yoshi's Cookie cutscene, but...
I'll give the full image but try not to cheat. I will be extremely impressed if anyone legit knows this one. I discovered this when I was 8-10 years old and thought I must have dreamt it, I thought it may not it actually exist for nearly 3 decades.

ah
>>10929221
>>10929232Diddy Kong Racing.
>>10929254Right you are
>>10929323Crash Bandicoot
>>10928851I wasn't the one who guessed the game.
>>10929335Yup
>>10929168addams family on the snes i think. that popped into my brain instantly but i cant be bothered to look it up to confirm or not
>>10929445>Alundrawhat the fuck, i just downloaded this again for the first time in years, at the same time you posted this pic. must be a sign.
>>10926906Here’s a hint - it’s on Neo Geo
name this obscure, shit tier fighter
>>10929469yeah that's right
>>10929191>>10927758I dig those early 3D games.>>10926107The original Links is maximum soul. Digitized 256 colors pics and you see the background getting rendered polygon by polygon then the billboards.https://youtu.be/m6Uoi9U3gKA?si=zhgj6BORPYvk7axH
>>10928584Is this Trilby's Notes?
>>10929551Shit I played that for a bit like a week ago and still that didn't click.I need to play through it again. I had like two days of just going at it on the SNES as a kid and I might have even beaten it. Challenging game - at least if you're impatient. Patience is really the key.
>>10928991Dat Mario Paint?
>>10928851To be fair - that can be done, even though he said that's not what happened. But more if a graphic has certain qualities in it that match the game. Like maybe you never got far in this particular game - but I posted this image... you might still be able to get it because shit like this all over the place.
>>10929506Better actually finish it this play around
>>10923995Tandor? Was that car game even called that, I can't find it in Mobygames or search engines. A demo of it was on some PC Games CD.
>>10925347Twisted Metal 2? Looks like one of the cutscenes.
>>10926143That's Sacrifice, Persephone's Rainbow spell, right?
>>10930152Ah shit, I was thinking of Thandor, which is a RTS.
>>10929618yep
>>10930160It's not, but the game does have a comic-like aesthetic.
>>10929880i did, nearly a decade ago. it took me 68 hours but i did it without a guide (except for the last puzzle of the last dungeon after wandering around for 5 hours and finally caving). brutal fucking game but one of my favorites nonetheless.
>>10929635>Dat Mario Paint?Yes! The hint was not actually meant to be helpful.>>10930165>That's Sacrifice, Persephone's Rainbow spell, right?Yes!
>>10925202>>10928429another hint. Multi platform game. Fairly popular game. One from a series of games
>>10929631Fantastic game. I think that it is arguably the best licensed platformer of all time. It has no business being as good as it is.
>>10930624Princess tomato in the salad kingdom. Extremely comfy game.
>>10926415Blade Runner for the C64
what the f is it?
>>10931182solitaire
>>10931232*applause*
>>10931241I was going to suggest Mad City/The Adventures of Bayou Billy, but the guy's color is different.That and I don't think a fire-breathing sea serpent appears in that game.
>>10931265there are just so goddamn many games aren't there
>>10931265its a konami game though you were close. its Arumana no Kiseki doing japan only games is kinda whack tho
>>10931256pirate ship higemaru
>>10931279somebody (you) got it in minutes though, whereas my NA-released "phone" picture above (from related console) has yet to be guessed
Not too hard but this game is perfect for this thread
>>10931284It's Kohan. Either the original or Ahriman's Gift (Dead Zone sounds more like a Ceyah tech)
>>10929639Now I'm impressed and clueless. I haven't the faintest idea.
>>10931330>Ahriman's Giftthat's the one
>>10931358mario 2? looks like red birdo
>>10931374Incorrect
>>10931053correct
>>10931652welcome to the world of warcraft
>>10931652Warcraft
>>10929639THat looks like a wind wakey
>>10931684Morrowind
>>10931260Heart Aino from Arcana Heart
>>10931698>>10931713both correct
>>10931724Young merlin!
>>10932405This is a wild guess, but would it happen to be Castle Master?
>>10932446That's exactly 100% correct
>>10927787populous>>10931372donkey Kong country
>>10932593>populousNo. I'm not sure I can actually remember what the right answer was, though.
>>10932583lion king activity studio
>>10932732Close enough I'd say>>10932593>populousOkay I found the actual game again. It is not Populous, but is not entirely unrelated to Populous.
>>10932593>donkey Kong countryit is
>>109313033D Pinball Space Cadet
>>10926671hint: from an RTS game on PC released after 2000
>>10926703>>10928426another hint: some more detail
>>10928580hint: this is from a old DOS platformer, kind of like donkey kong in a way
>>10929169hint: SNES game. Very popular licence. This was from a kind of driving stage
>>10933197That's the one!
>>10926703>>10928426>>10933251Crystal Caves.
>>10929169>>10933258Super Star Wars
>>10933297yes
>>10933315also yes
>>10932609>>10932874Powermonger
>>10933183I just realised the mountain is in the shape of DKs head...
>>10933820yeh i didn't notice that for like 20 years too
>>10931669It is a wind wakey... I don't have the full screenshot handy... but yeah. Kinda the point. Wasn't trying to plat the game legit. Similar but different spirals are all around that game on everything. You don't need to see those exact spirals.
>>10933347Explains why I was looking like - is that the Secret Agent game? Same engine and whatnot.
>>10931946Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
>>10935479Yes
>>10933860I'm glad it's as subtle as it is because I don't like the idea of Donkey Kong living on his own head, but it's not annoying if you don't even notice it
>>10936001Alien Hominid
>>10931241Arumana no Kiseki
>>10928580>>10933253another hint: another picture of the same stage. Every stage looks like this pretty much
>>10926671>>10933248another hint: some more detail
>>10925202>>10928429>>10930675hint: some more detail
>>10936726Fire Emblem (GBA, dunno which one)
>>10937698Warhammer
>>10937758Myst
>>10937763that's close enough. It was Warhammer 40k Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
>>10929720I want to say that’s something like Fire Emblem. Maybe even Tear Ring Saga.
>>10937757absolutely not
>>10937743Desert strike?
>>10938804that's close enough. It was from Jungle Strike, the cutscene after stage 3
>>10938815Dammit. I was just watching a friend play this game the other day and I second guessed myself.
This is a fun one. I didn't even know this feature of the game existed before today.
Picture is from Death Generator so disregard text
>>10923925probably not very obscure
>>10923925
Is there a thread like this but for people trying to find an obscure game they can barely remember?
>>10939118people sometimes make that kind of threads.
>>10928996is this golgo 13 on the nes?
>>10929221plague of the moon
>>10939018Klonoa
>>10939363no, it's something a little sillier than that
>>10938854Star Control 2.
>>10926667Ironically the game with Hard Man
>>10937689>>10928580>>10933253hint: some more detail
>>10940305that would be superb mario brothel
>>10940306nooooooo
>>10940216one of the barbie horse adventures gamesmystery ride maybe?
>>10940305Aldo's AdventureIs this a freeware or something?
>>10940815YEs! Aldo's Adventure on DOS. I think it was shareware, because they asked for payment on one of the intro screens of the game
>>10939623Yes
>>10940771Mystery Ride is incorrect
>>10930152No, I posted another hint. >>10926839
>>10941689Lugaru?
>>10941728Absolutely. And you know that those other rabbits (one visually hidden behind player character) don't have long to live
>>10943040Legendary Wings
>>10944482yes
>>10944970Hmm... This is an incredibly wild guess and it can't possibly be right, but is this perhaps Fable?
>>10945021NO it's actually Mario Paint. Alright I'm kidding it's Fable (MP can't do that many colors of course, and I already used that trick with my fake Birdo screenshot above, which no one cared to pursue)
>>10941756UT99 - GOTYAY
>>10945614Correct on both counts
>>10923995Everquest or Tomb Raider
>>10938706SHITFUCKI KNOW THISI DON'T KNOW THIS
>>10946242You may have encountered a port of it with simpler graphics
>>10946235No, see above: >>10926839
>>10946343hearts?
>>10946553Lufia II, maybe? I'm not sure.
>>10946405MHN it is
>>10946575Regrettably, it is not Lufia II.
>>10946687this is the thing in Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure that lets you play the atari version for a bit

>>10946553Puyo puyo 2?
>>10946873Correct, anon
Screenshot of a YouTube video with the description "Trailer from PC Games magazine CD ____/10." (I have blocked out the year.) I imagine the video looked this compressed even when it was new.
>>10946927Is the fish Beavis or Butthead?
>>10938706I really wnat to know what this is. If nobody guesses it please tell us before the thread ends
>>10947462Pool of Radiance 2
>>10948136I will accept that answer.>>10948107I don't care enough about the "guess the game" challenge to hold out on somebody who really wants to know, especially since it's already been a few days. So I'll just tell you that that's part of one of the backgrounds in Klax.
>>10948221Thanks for sating my curiousity, anon. Turns out I was full of shit and didn't recognize it after all. I was sure it was some kind of narrative heavy adventure game or something.Looks addictive though. And kinda makes me want to play IQ/Kurushi
>>10948221Those are the pieces from Zoop!

>>10923925Hint: not a fighting game
I've obscured part of the title. Hint: The game received the ETAINA award for Best Graphics in a Computer Game in the year of its release.
Hint: Sega
>>10953420South Park
>>10926671I knew instantly it was Dark Crusade
>>10953420Pretty sure that's Game #5 on the Magnavox Oddysey,
>>10953420Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2
>>10952768Now it's Kohan II.>>10953353And whatshisname (Obongo?) from Princess Maker 2.
>>10953742Kohan 3 should be next of course. It isn't out yet but maybe soon, could happen any day. By 2048 or so I will surely be able to post screenshots of it in a thread like this
>>10953845never played it but im going to guess scarface the world is yours
>>10953878das it mang
>>10953845Scarface
>>10953912maybe
>>10953837Looks like Centurion, never knew it had an EGA version.
>>10953967MissionForce: CyberStorm
>>10953742Wow, got it! Bon Bon Bizarro. Almost put it as the filename as a hint because the name sounds like generic goofy Japanese name unless you really have good memory of unimportant characters from PM2
>>10953820Hint: there is a thread of this game in the catalog.
>>10956380uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mario teaches typing
>>10956393Hint: suffered the same fate as Half Life
>>10954229Haven't played the game in 20 years, but I still remember most of the tournament opponents. Him, the Arabic swordsman, the red-clad dominatrix, the combat teachers, the French ojou-sama...There's a lot of stuff in the explorable zones, so better make your daughter competent at fighting or magic! I think my best endings were General and Court Magician... and lots of Writers in my first playthroughs.
>>10954504Looks like a Famicom game, maybe Monster Party?
>>10956548>Haven't played the game in 20 yearsSame. I only remember the blonde girl with bouncy tits.
>>10956562It is not Monster Party, but on a scale from one to Monster Party, I wouldn't call it a one
>>10939408I may have forgotten what this one was, even though I posted it. I'd have to check again.
>>10954504>>10956665maybe Phantom Fighter then
>>10957165That's it
>>10957215heh nice, it was sort of a wild guess. I still need to play that game.
>>10956398ummmmmmmmmmm pokemon puzzle league
>>10956673Anachronox?
>>10957591Correct
>>10957781Killer Instinct 2/Gold?
>>10956678Stair Dismount, superhero guy can't pay damages to city so he needs to prove he was injured too
>>10950614That must be Snake, but I can't tell which one. Some mobile phone veesion?
>>10958140KI2 yes>>10958260Porrasturvat yes>>10958283Yes, Snake for uhh I think it was the TI-82 calculator
>>10957781Even though I got it, I never actually played Anachronox. I have the CD around, I've seen screenshots though... it just looked like Q2 engine and there's a handful of games that would fit that other than Daikatana maybe.
>>10958323That looks like part of Golden Sun's overworld map, but I don't think that's it.
>>10958323This reminds me of Ogre Battle.
>>10959590That's what it is
>>10959624Croc?
>>10923995>random piece of dirt.Oh come on, man.Come the fuck on...
Look at this snake.
>>10960170>ITT post obscure screenshots of retro games
>>10960174Battletoads?
>>10960461Nope.
>>10960174Beyond Oasis aka Legend of Thor?
>>10960497Yes!
>>10960501Again kind of a wild guess, I only played that game briefly a decade ago but the art style reminded me of it
>>10959924no
>>10954074Ye.Czech this out yo.
>>10960542simpsons arcade
>>10961120This can't be it, but the background gives me Twinsen's Odyssey vibes.
>>10961839>Twinsen's Odyssey>Relentless: Twinsen's AdventureWhy did they change the names into Little Big Adventure (LBA) and LBA 2?
>>10961864"Little Big Adventure" was actually the original name of the games.They were changed to "Twinsen's Odyssey" and "Twinsen's Adventure" when they were brought to North America.
Are we no longer bumping?
